DENNY COWHEY RETIRES
FROM COMPUTER INSIGHTS
38 years after founding Computer Insights,
Inc., Dennis R. Cowhey (Denny) has announced his
retirement.
Denny’s son, Dennis E. Cowhey (Dennis), will continue
as President and CEO. Dennis has worked with Denny
since the company was started in June of 1981.
The company has grown from a 3-person custom
software company serving the Midwest, into an
international vertical market software company serving
thousands of people all over North America. The company
has developed The Business Edge TM
system exclusively
for the fastener and industrial supply industry. Their
clients range from small (2 user) companies, to large
multi-location companies with hundreds of users and over
a hundred million dollars in sales. The company has an
impeccable reputation for creating cutting edge software
and providing world class service.
“This is the fulfillment of a dream. I am so proud to
be able to turn the reins over to my son, Dennis. I am
also so glad for our clients, both present and future,
because Dennis has been the key driver of the design
and implementation of the system for many years. Dennis
has overseen all the technical development that is being
done by a hand-picked staff of US based programmers.
He has many plans to expand the company’s capabilities
and market footprint. There could be no better choice of a
person to lead the company into the future.” The rest of
the management team will remain the same.
Denny’s Plans
Denny and his wife Deb are living in Florida now.
They are working diligently on their golf, tennis, and
pickleball skills. They are also involved in various
volunteer activities, and they plan to continue their world
travels. Denny said, “It’s remarkable how busy we are.
We’re having fun, and looking forward to a long, healthy,
and happy retirement.”

management to Dennis.
This didn’t happen overnight; Dennis has been
President for over 8 years. He was also recently named
CEO of the company. In a recent interview, Denny said,
